1 Give ear, O my people, to my law;Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable;I will utter dark sayings of old,
3 Which we have heard and known,And our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children,Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.
5 For He established a testimony in Jacob,And appointed a law in Israel,Which He commanded our fathers,That they should make them known to their children;
6 That the generation to come might know them,The children who would be born,That they may arise and declare them to their children,
